Product: envoy 7640
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Is there a distance radius for my wireless printer to work with my router?  Do they even have to be on the same floor?  I would so appreciate some feedback about this?  Thank you.

The two should be at least 5 feet apart from each other.

Hi,

 

I don't know your environment (wall type, floor type ...) and also depends on your network. With a normal house (no concrete floors), you can put your printer on 4th floor and your router on the ground floor.

 

Updated: FYI my old loan Envy 7640 was in my computer room upstairs and my router is downstairs (always). The room on the first floor is not directly on top of the room on the ground floor. Straight line is over 20m.

 

Regards.

BH
